Title: Greenford Electric Problems Post by: Oxonhutch on June 21, 2016, 16:24:43 It appears that the Greenford service has been prematurely recast and has been for a few days now:
Quote 15:45 London Paddington to Greenford due 16:10 This train will be cancelled. This is due to damage to the overhead electric wires. Quote 15:59 West Ealing to Greenford due 16:11 An additional train service has been planned to operate as shown 21/06/16 15:59 West Ealing to Greenford due 16:11. This is due to damage to the overhead electric wires These changes are now dominating the GWR Journey Check. I appreciate that this is a result of the derailment and OHL stanchion collision at PAD but I can't quite work out the direct connection. I don't see the capacity constraints now at PAD. Any clues please from those within? Title: Re: Greenford Electric Problems Post by: ChrisB on June 21, 2016, 16:29:55 NRE was tweeting this morning that the Greenfords were on a half-hour service. Isn't that the usual timetable?
Title: Re: Greenford Electric Problems Post by: Ollie on June 21, 2016, 16:31:29 Lines 1 and 2 are closed to electric traction so the capacity issue is for electric trains. To assist with this capacity issue the Greenfords are starting/terminating at West Ealing instead of Paddington.
Network Rail are doing some work this evening which all going well, will mean full access is restored on approach to Paddington which will allow a full service to run from tomorrow.
